About
I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2020 with a Master’s degree in
film production, specialising in Production Design. I then worked steadily as Art
Department Assistant within the Art Departments for ITV’s Grantchester, BBC’s
Killing Eve and Netflix drama Damage. In these roles I undertook a lot of draughting
for smaller construction elements on location; plugs, cover ups and location
enhancements. I was also responsible for managing these locations and overseeing
construction on the instalments. In my role as Assistant Art Director on Better Man
(UK Shoot) I was draughting for all the construction elements, many of which were
large scale covers and plugs for shop fronts on London’s Regent Street. I have since
honed these skills during my time on Back To Black, The Amy Winehouse Biopic.
